Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss is remanded. The Veteran will be scheduled for a VA examination to determine the current severity of his hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran made reasonable attempts to reschedule the examination and complete the necessary development to substantiate his claim, but no VA examination is included in the Veteran's record to assess his current level of hearing loss.
